A CLI for Noughts and Crosses in Ruby

A Ruby CLI Noughts and Crosses Game

The goal of this project is to:

• Develop experience in working in an object oriented language (Ruby)
• Develop experience implementing the SOLID principles
• Practice test driven development
• Create classes as small as possible

Initial acceptance criteria

1. Create a walking skeleton
2. Create a 3x3 CLI Noughts and Crosses game with two human players - 'X' & 'O'
3. Winning or tie games should be identified gracefully after game ends

What I've learned

1. Using bundle gem [project_name], it is best for the project name to be separated with hyphens (eg. this-is-a-project-name), as this will nest a number of folders within the lib folder
2. Gemfile is the equivalent of a package.json in Javascript
3. .to console.to_stdout tests for console to console
4. Time box design thinking for these early projects
5. Be careful about getting sucked into deep refactoring. Perhaps try to attempt completing functionality first.

What I've struggled with

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'game'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install game

Usage

TODO: Write usage instructions here

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
